Chase Clay Cato, 24, is charged with second-degree assault, resisting arrest and both second-degree and third-degree criminal mischief stemming from the incident that occurred between 2:20 and 2:48 a.m. Thursday.

According to the police report, officers responded to an alarm call at Lucy's Afterlife on Chestnut Street and saw a security guard escort Cato across the street and release him in the parking lot.

The report indicates Cato left the scene, but came back.

The reporting officer said he saw a fight and was arresting a person involved in that fight when he saw Cato return.

The officer told Officer Steven Holcomb of the earlier incident and said he told the man to leave. Cato refused, according to the report, and approached the bar.

Holcomb attempted to arrest Cato, who allegedly resisted and fought back. The report states the two ended up on the ground, and Cato allegedly punched Holcomb, causing a cut.

Holcomb also injured both his knees.

After being put in the patrol car, Cato broke out the glass on the rear door using his head, according to the report.

Cato was taken to the Etowah County Detention Center, then to Riverview Regional Medical Center, where he was medically cleared and taken back to jail.

Holcomb was treated for injuries at the emergency room at Riverview and was released.

Cato was held on a $4,000 bond and has been released from the Detention Center.
